Thls space l to be fined a Spacer Fig. 5. This card has some suitable gift or member Thls Spacer member H 15 Provlded greeting design imprinted upon its surface as Wlth the D Wall l2, having an Opening I3 0f shown at 30. In order that the card 29 may the same size as the outside dimensions of the be readily assembled and removed from the dis- 5 inner receptacle 6. The spacer II is, also, proplay, it is provided with an opening 3| formed therein at such a place that when assembled Within the box I the piece of jewelry 24 supported on the card 25 passes through said opening 3| so that the card 29 lies fiat upon the surface of the underlying card 25. Due to the fact that the card 29 is readily removable from the display assembly, a purchaser of the article can select any card which he may choose. It is contemplated that a relatively large number of separate cards 29 bearing different designs on their surface be provided in order that a selection may be made therefrom. I, also, prefer to have the card 25 as well as the card supporting member ll readily removable from the assembly.

Although the assembly is adapted to be displayed without a cover, I, also, provide a suitable cover 32 such as that, for example, shown in Fig. 6 so that when the display article is sold, the cover 32 may be placed around the side walls of the box I, resting upon the bottom wall 2 and thus forms a complete package, which is readily transportable.

It is accordingly desired that the appended claims be given a broad interpretation commensurate with the scope of the invention Within the art.
